In a March 10, 2014 Reuters
article by Arno Schuetze it is reported that Wild
Flavors posted 2013 sales of almost 900 million euros.We
have estimated that revenue in euros for Wild increased about 6.8%
(based on inclusion of full year sales of acquisitions made primarily
in 2012).

*This is the first year of our including Huabao International
in our tabulalations. Our reported 2013 sales is only for flavors
& fragrance segments and excludes 1,069,831 Hong Kong dollars
= $137,971.2 million in other sales.

Although not appearing in our tabulation, Ogawa reported
2012-2013 sales of 23,595 million yen = US $224.2 million (year
ending March 2014).

For 2013, based on comparison of major currency rates (on Dec.
31), the CHF/USD (Swiss Franc vs. US$) had an increase of 2.8%, and
the EUR/USD (Euro vs. US$) gained 4.5%. The GPB/USD (British pound
vs. US$) increased 1.9% and the Brazilian Real (BRL/USD) declined
13.3%. The JPY/USD (Japanese Yen vs. US$) had a decrease of 17.8% and
the CNY/USD (Chinese Yuan v. US$) increased of 2.9% while the INR/USD
(Indian Rupee v. US$) decreased 11.3%. However, comparing single
points in time can be somewhat misleading as during the year major
currency swings can occur.

For several major companies (e.g., Mane & Symrise) 2013 was
remarkably successful with some of the largest year-to-year gains in
recent years. Overall we estimate that the total market grew about
4%+ in US $ from 2012.

It should be noted that Kerry Ingrededients & Flavors
possibly should be in the Top Ten. However, the inclusion of so many
other non-flavor ingredients in their sales numbers makes it
impossible to estimate their F&F portion of sales.

It should also be noted that in Frutarom's February 2014
corporate overview they estimate sales would have been US$ 784
million "based on Dec 2013 including the acquisitions made in 2013 as
if consolidated from 1 January 2013".

1 to August 31 until year 2000. In year 2000, Universal Foods changed
is name to SENSIENT TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION and the Flavor division
is now known as Sensient Flavors. In addition, the accounting period
was changed to January 1 - December 31 starting in year 2000 and in
the "funny" way of making one look larger than they really are in
F&F, Sensient's Flavor sales from 2000-2012 included "Dehydrated
Products" (onion/garlic/chilies/dehydrated vegetables) which are
not flavors or fragrances in the conventional sense. In our
figures for Sensient, we have removed sales for the "Dehydrated
Products" (now referred to as "Natural Ingredients") for
2000-2013.(7) ** See also Note (6).
F&F figures in the tables for 2000-2013 for Sensient Flavors
are estimates as we
have removed reported sales of "Dehydrated products" . In 2006,
dehydrated products were 27% of the reported F&F sales, in 2007
& 2008 also about 27% of sales. In 2009 & 2010 we estimate
that dehydrated products were about 29% and 28% of sales,
respectively. In 2011, 28% of F&F sales were dehydrated products.
In 2012, 29% of F&F sales were dehydrated products. For 2013, 27%
of sales were "Dehydrated Products" (now referred to as
"Natural Ingredients")Note - for companies with
accounting periods that overlap calendar years, sales are stated for
the year in which the majority of sales periods occur. For example,
if Takasago's year end is March 31, 2014 we treat that as year 2013
sales. Similarly, if Firmenich's year end is June 30, 2014 we report
the year ending as 2013 sales. While not exact, we feel that this
treatment still provides an accurate overall basis for comparison.
Similarly, as noted, currency calculations are based on calendar year
end rates for comparison consistency. Note - Top Ten Total for market share does
not neccessarily add due to rounding for individual
companies.Note - all foreign currency
calculations for the table are based on December

performances in Sweet Goods and Savory and modest growth in
Beverages. Ingredients sales were in positive territory this year in

Sensient, Frutarom) 2011 was remarkably successful with some of the
largest year-to-year gains in recent years. Overall we estimate that
the total market was essentially flat with a marginal decline in US $

Franc, a decrease of 14.8% against the Japanese Yen, a decrease of
3.6% against the Chinese Yuan and a decrease of 3.8% angainst the
Indian Rupee. Conversely the dollar gained 6.8% against the Euro and
3.5% vs the British pound. However, comparing single points in time
can be somewhat misleading as during the year major currency swings
occurred, particulary in the EU countries due to economic
instability. For most major companies, 2010 was remarkably successful
with some of the largest year-to-year gains in recent years. We
estimate that the total market grew ~9-10% in US $ from 2009. This
growth was mainly fueled by emerging markets such as China, India and
Brazil. For the numerous small flavor & fragrance companies in
2010, which continue to lose market share, we estimate an overall
sales decline in US $ of about 2%.

24%. Without excluding the aforementioned effect, sales decreased by
9%. The considerable trend of reducing inventory levels among
Frutarom's customers worldwide in the last few months, also affected
the decrease in sales during the fourth quarter.

IFF
Full Year 2008 Sales Results- Feb. 5, 2009 - Full year 2008 reported sales
totaled $2,389 million, up 5% from 2007; Flavor and Fragrance sales
increased 9% and 2%, respectively. 2008 sales benefited from the
weaker U.S. dollar for most of the year. At comparable exchange
rates, sales would have increased 2% over the prior year. Net Income
was $230 million versus $247 million in 2007. The change is mainly
attributable to $32 million of higher interest expense in 2008,
partially offset by higher volume and favorable currency impacts. 4th
Qtr. Sales in local currency increased 2% versus the comparable
period in 2007, whereas reported sales of $539 million were down 3%
due to the strengthening U.S. dollar. 4th Qtr. flavor sales were up
3% in local currencies while reported sales worldwide declined 1%,
reflecting the stronger U.S. dollar. Fragrance sales in local
currency were flat versus the comparable period last year, while
reported sales were down 4%.

Sensient
F&F Full year 2008 Sales Results- Feb. 5, 2008 -Sensient Flavors &

Annual revenue for the Group increased 5.4% to $809.6 million,
compared to $768.1 million in 2007. As these figures include
dehydrated products such as dehydrated vegetables that are about 27%
of sales, we estimate that the sales of conventional flavors &
fragrances in 2008 were about $591 million. Operating income in 2008
was up 7.6% to $123.5 million, compared to $114.7 million in 2007.

year fourth quarter operating income of $29.7 million. Quarterly
revenue and operating income on a local currency basis increased 5.8%
and 5.4%, respectively. The stronger US dollar currency translation
reduced reported revenue and operating income for the Flavors &
Fragrances Group by approximately 7% in the 4th quarter.

Firmenich
2007-2008 Sales- Oct. 9, 2008 - Firmenich posted strong sales
growth for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, despite an economic
downturn during the second half of the year. Sales increased 18.4% in
local currencies, 13.5% in Swiss Francs, to reach an annual turnover
of CHF 2,847 million. In our table, these are listed as
"2007" sales.

Rank is based on US$
equivalents(1) Estimated 1999 Total World
Flavor & Fragrance Sales of US $12.9 Billion. Again in year
2000, we estimate that sales growth in local currencies was about
3-4%, but the continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar against
major currencies once again leaves the estimated total market in U.S.
dollars at about U.S 12.9 Billion. For 2001 we believe that growth in
local currencies was about 2% or less and that in US $ equivalents
the market shrank to about U.S $12.7 Billion based on the strength of
the dollar. For 2002, we estimate that the total world market is
$15.1 billion. This sizable increase reflects a decrease in the value
of the U.S. dollar of about 17.8% vs. major currencies at 12/31/02 vs
12/31/01. The continued weakness of the U.S. dollar in 2003 against
the worlds major currencies (a decline of about 16%) again has
affected the size of the total market in U.S. dollars (the 2003
estimate being about U.S. $16.3 billion). For 2004, the U.S. $ was
again down about 5-6% against major currencies. We estimate that
growth in local currencies was about 3% resulting in a total market
size of about U.S. $17.7 billion. For 2005, the U.S. $ strengthened
by about 12% against major currencies. We estimate that growth in
local currencies was about 3% in 2005 resulting in a total market
size of about U.S. $16.0 billion. For 2006, the US $ declined in
value against the world's major currencies by about 9%. We estimate
that growth in local currencies was about 3-4% resulting in a total
market size of about U.S. $18 billion.For 2007,
the US $ again declined in value against the world's major currencies
by about 5.8%. For 2007, we estimate that growth in local currencies
was about 4.5% resulting in a total market size of about
U.S. $19.8 billion.

In 2008, based on comparison of major currency rates (on
Dec.31), the U$ $ had a decline of 6% against the Swiss Franc, a 23%
decline against the Japanese Yen and about a 5% gain aganst the Euro.
However, comparing single points in time can be somewhat misleading
as during the period of March to August 2008, the dollar had a
decline of about 26% against the Euro in the same prior year period.
In addition, the deteriorating worldwide economic situation during
the last 1/3 of the year negatively impacted sales volumes. At best
we estimate that the total market grew in 2008 at about 2.5-3.0% in
US $.

It should be noted that Givaudan in 2001
estimated the total F&F market at "roughly" 15 billion CHF (U.S.
$ 8.7 billion) while in a market study (April , 2001)
ChemSynergy
estimates the market for flavor and fragrance products is at present
globally in the order of $12.24 billion. Also in a market study by
The
Freedonia Group, they estimated the
world F&F market as $14.15 billion in 1999 with a projected
growth to $18.4 billion by 2004. Get

this effect, sales in local currencies would have increased by
4.9%

income jumped 42.8% to $27.0 million compared to $18.9 million in the
fourth quarter of 2005. As approximately 23% of F&F sales
historically has been in dehydrated vegetables, we estimate that

2006.

Comments on Total Market Size
(2006-2008)

Leffingwell & Associates includes
"ingredient" sales in their sales
estimations, some of which run through the sales of the major F&F
companies (e.g. especially Givaudan, Firmenich, Symrise, Takasago
& IFF). It should be obvious that other F&F suppliers such as
Kerry, AM Todd, Huabao International, Ogawa, Kao, BASF., Rhodia.
Citrus & Allied. Millennium Specialty Chemicals div. of Lyondell,
Bell Flavors & Fragrances, Cargill Flavor Systems, Camphor &
Allied Products, Etol d.d, Shiono Koryo Kaisha, Nagaoka Perfumery
(all with estimated sales in the range of about $50-250 million),
plus the other ~400 F&F companies, are important to the total
market size. One of the controversial problems in estimating total
market size has to do with potential (or real) double counting of
sales. This is a particular issue in the case of "ingredients".
For example - in the case of essential oils and aroma chemicals they
are often sold twice, e.g., the producer sells to a company which
then sells to another company. For essential oils, these often
require a distillation and standardization before the are ready for
the end user F&F company. Or in the case of aroma chemical
producers, they may sell to another company (in bulk) who then
repackages in smaller containers for further sale.
These multiple transactions are considered by
Leffingwell as being "value added" for the ultimate F&F customer
and are therefore included in our figures for total market size.

A recent report on the size of the Essential oil and Aroma
chemical market size is of interest.

BCC Research reportson the 2006 market for Essential oils and Aroma
chemicals at http://www.bccresearch.com/report/CHM034B.html
BCC Research reports
"The worldwide flavors and fragrance
"ingredient"market is
estimated to be worth approximately $6.3 billion in
2006. Poised for an average annual growth rate
(AAGR) of 4.5% per year, this value should grow to $7.8 billion in
2011. Flavors and fragrances have similar economic and operational
characteristics, including research and development, the nature of
the creative and production processes, the manner in which the
products are distributed and the preferences of the customers. World
demand for quality essential oils and their derivatives is likely to
see increasing demand in the coming years, and natural products will
continue to remain an important part of the flavors and fragrances
industry. The market should reach $5.0 billion by 2011, an AAGR of
5.2%."

April 16, 2007 - A Press Release from IAL
Consultants estimated the World F&F market at $12.6 billion. As
their figures for the total market are close to that firmly
documented for the top ten companies, they must be excluding
much of the sales of the nearly 400+ other companies in the
F&F Industry. The following charts shows their estimates as
to the market breakdown. See http://www.ialconsultants.com/website/pdf/8289P.pdf
